Garlic Lemon Shrimp
From The Kitchen · a prep-ahead staple
Shrimp cooks so quickly that it's one of my favorite proteins for busy evenings or last-minute lunches.
🔥 Prep-ahead: marinate first with the lemon-herb shrimp marinade — it keeps two weeks in the fridge.

Coach's Note
Shrimp forgives a hard day. Five minutes from pan to plate, and dinner is real. Speed is not the enemy of eating well.
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
